Study Regarding the Reaction Time Levels in Physical Education and Sports

Abstract

The subjects of this study are the Physical Education and Sports students of the UMFST George Emil Palade university of Targu Mures. The tests used to measure reaction time were the Visual reaction test, the Visual reaction right leg and the Visual reaction left leg. All three tests measured the reaction time in the legs, using a visual stimulus. The first test measured the reaction time in both legs by making the subjects jump vertically five times without knowing exactly when the visual stimulus would be activated; the second test
aimed to identify the reaction time of the right leg by making the subjects introduce their right leg in the monitoring area and raising it when the visual stimulus was activated; the third test is identical to the second, with the exception that it tested the reaction time in the
left leg.
